Rent is ridiculous. Lots of people on Facebook laughed at my comments 5 years ago when I said this was going to happen when they built Polar Park, but look where we are now. Other than eating, drinking and baseball there isn’t much going on. I’d much rather live in Springfield where it’s not next to impossible to get a studio for under $1300, and they’ve got MGM, Basketball hall of fame, the Big E and Six Flags a few miles away.

Exactly there’s not much for ppl to do here. Other than eat and drink. Even shopping has dwindled down but that’s a whole other topic

Not to mention a lot of shopping is done online today and most of the new places in the canal district aren’t easily accessible by car. So unless you’re a hipster who can afford to live near Union station a lot of it likely won’t be appealing.
